Confusing user interface, but it works.

Initially , this app seems to have the most confusing interface that I have ever for a ballistic app, but it actually makes sense once you get se to the work flow.
What this app does that many of it’s competitors don’t do is converting the ballistic data into clicks, so instead of figuring out how to dial for example 10.653 MOA, this app will convert the data drop to your scopes turret clicks so you would instead dial up 3.7 clicks of the elevation turret.
There’s not a large selection of scopes to choose from if you plan to view hold over conversions on the reticle.
There are plenty of other ballistic apps the use mostly the same open source ballistic calculator that are easier to use, have a better interface, are much better organized, and are cheaper and just as accurate.

Decent App; Great data

Edited: At first I really disliked the app. I had 3 main issues with it, 1 of which was user error. The second issue was the user interface, which is still not very good, but workable. The third issue is that it doesn’t work right on the I-pad.
Brass tax. If you want quick results, this is not your app. You have to be willing to dive into the users manual (available online) and work past some confusing set up criteria. But if you want the best data and you’re willing to spend some time getting to know the app, you’ll be very pleased, so long as you aren’t on an i-pad.

Needs a lot of work

An update caused the app to crash whenever I would try display any of my previously saved load data. If I recreate the load it will work fine but all of my previously saved data was useless.
Also recently had to backup and restore my phone and now all of my saved data is gone. This app used to have a cloud sync feature but it’s nowhere to be found now. Guess I get to start over.

Wasted $30

App is poorly designed and library has just a fraction of bullets compared to other ballistic apps. There was a “timer” button that I hit any my phone would not stop vibrating. Absolutely horrible. I had to delete the app to stop the vibrating. Can I get a refund?

Great calc but the UI needs work

11/27 updated review.
The recent updates solved the calc issues that plagued this app (Yay!) but the UI still need work. On an iPhone 7 Plus, the font size in the rifle and load selection pages is too large and jumbles the text to display too many “...”. Fix the fonts and would easily make this a 4 star app.

Best ballistics app

By Flyer93

This is the best ballistics app out there and worth every penny. While the user interface is a little clunky, it’s still miles above any comparable app.
As a hunting guide, I need to have data for each clients gun and ammo available offline. This app makes that easy and convenient with an extensive library of factory loads to choose from. I really like the reticle view feature for being able to show clients exactly what the reticle looks like and where to apply a wind hold.
One issue that I’ve found is with importing the local atmospheric conditions. Even with the “Disable Wind Population” turned on (so that the local station values don’t mess up my preferred 10 MPH / 90* wind value), I am still getting local wind populated into my chart and One Shot views, so I have to go back and delete the imported wind and manually enter 10 MPH / 90* winds.
Overall, it’s a great tool and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a phone based ballistics calculator.

Not bad

Now that the app has been updated and supports CDMs it’s actually pretty good.
I haven’t noticed any problems so far and the only feedback I have is just feature suggestions.
Mainly I’d like to see it work with my AB kestrel as an alternative to the Kestrel Ballistics app.
Since I already have the CDM library on it, it’d be great to be able to transfer profiles back and forth and have this AB app talk to the Kestrel for atmospherics.
Other then that, this version is a great improvement

No longer works

I just performed the latest update (10.2.1) and this app no longer works. You can change data but when you try and calculate a solution, the app quits. Please fix asap

Good App and a few tweaks would make it better

By Marc Denis

Bought this after owning Shooter and studying Bryan's books. My only suggestion for change concerns the moving target feature. Target motion is not accounted for in windage displays on the reticle view.
Changing target speed changes 'wind' windage but not target windage. So... a few tweaks are needed.
Looking forward to field use with a new 6.5mm rifle.

Bought this app out of curiosity. Mildot Ballistic, Ballistic AE and StrelokPro are much better apps with StrelokPro being my favorite because it already has just about any reticule built into the app. Each gives data for your loads that are comparable but with every imaginable scope reticule built into the program makes StrelokPro stand above the others.
